Class-A scavenger receptor (SR-A) is expressed by microglia, and we show here that it is also expressed by astrocytes, where it participates on their inflammatory activation. Astrocytes play a key role on the inflammatory response of the central nervous system, secreting several soluble mediators like cytokines and radical species. Exposure to SR ligands activated MAPKs and NF-κB signaling and increased production of IL1β and nitric oxide (NO). IL1β classically an inflammatory cytokine surprisingly did not increase but inhibited LPS+IFNγ-induced NO production by astrocytes. Our results suggest that SRs expressed by astrocytes participate in the modulation of inflammatory activation.
I 类清道夫受体 (SR-A) 由小胶质细胞表达,我们在这里显示它也由星形胶质细胞表达,在星形胶质细胞中它参与其炎症激活。星形胶质细胞在中枢神经系统的炎症反应中发挥关键作用,分泌几种可溶性介质,如细胞因子和自由基。暴露于 SR 配体激活了 MAPKs 和 NF-κB 信号通路,并增加了 IL1β 和一氧化氮 (NO) 的产生。IL1β 是一种经典的炎症细胞因子,但令人惊讶的是,它并没有增加,反而抑制了 LPS+IFNγ 诱导的星形胶质细胞中 NO 的产生。我们的结果表明,星形胶质细胞表达的 SR 参与了炎症激活的调节。
